Horicon Marsh is the largest freshwater
cattail marsh in the country. The vast
wetland is renowned for its migrant
flocks of Canada geese, but is also
used by nearly 300 different species of
birds. The Horicon Marsh Parkway is a
50-mile auto tour route that follows
state and county roadways around the
marsh, passing through or near many
local communities. There are also roads,
hiking and biking trails throughout the
property, and a canoe trail accessing
the waters of the marsh. The Horicon
Marsh International Education Center
focuses on wetland and wildlife topics
that explain the natural relationships
that exist at the 32,000-acre property.
Horicon National Wildlife Refuge is
located north of the state property, (see
next listing).
